Pixar's next movie, 'Inside Out,' will go inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl

Pixar Animation has revealed the official synopsis for its next movie, "Inside Out," which is set inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl.

Directed by Pete Docter ("Up,""Monsters, Inc.") and set for release June 19, 2015, "Inside Out" tells the story of Riley, a girl who is uprooted from her life in the Midwest when her dad takes a new job in San Francisco.

According to the Pixar website, "The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school."

With its uniquely introspective approach, "Inside Out" looks to be both an ambitious creative undertaking for Docter and his team and a potential marketing challenge for Disney, which owns Pixar. Docter is no slouch in the animation game, of course: His previous film, "Up," grossed $731 million worldwide and won the Oscar for animated feature.
